Lyrics
READY (4:27)
When I was born, I was ready
I was born, I was ready
Waitin' for the tree of life to drop that fruit
Hungry for the real thing, no substitute
I was born, born, born, born, I was ready
Now I have lived, always ready
I have lived, always ready
Workin' on the man that I hoped I'd become
Mostly tried to learn while I had my fun
I have lived, lived, lived, lived, always ready
Sometimes it kills me, but I'm ready
Yes it kills me, but I'm ready
Willing to deliver in no time flat
All you got to do is to drop your hat
Yes it kills, kills, kills me, but I'm ready
Now when I die, I'll be ready
When I die, I'll be ready
Going to make the gig at the pearly gate
Lord say "Step inside son, aint no need to wait"
When I die, die, die, die, I'll be ready
Listen to you heart, try to do right
Listen to your heart, day and night now
Listen to your heart, look to the light
Listen to your heart, with all of your might now
are you ready?
